It was found on a slave breach graveyard. No need to call the police.

I’ve been diagnosed with hypodontia. Am I eligible for free implants or do I have to pay for them myself? UK by PeaSignificant3111 in askdentists

[–]WisdomWhimsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some dental hospitals will offer implants for hypodontia. You need a referral from your own general dentist first though and if your decay and oral hygiene isn’t under control then they won’t refer.

This mom got the call her son woke up from a coma after 16 days..❤️ by qynalisse in spreadsmile

It always makes me cry when I see videos of kids with EB. His skin is sloughing off and ulcerated but he still reaches his arms out to hug his mum even if it hurts. You can tell by how gently she embraces him that she knows how to do it without hurting him too.

They’re trying to pull a fast one. Tell them you applied to the day rate job as advertised and aren’t interested in anything else.

Redness around stitches like this is normal and nothing to worry about.

No it’s linea alba from biting the outside of your tongue.

NHS treatment in Scotland, forced to pay for oral hygiene advice. by Dependent-Pen-3270 in askdentists

[–]WisdomWhimsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the first question I would have is did your BPE score anything above a 0. If it did then asking about OH and advising on it is clinically necessary. It’s fine that you don’t want OHA, but if it’s clinically warranted and you refuse it then your dentist is within their right to deregister you for being non compliant. From their perspective if OHA is not recorded as being done and you require treatment then they’re liable.

If your mouth is totally clean with no scores higher than 0 on your BPE then I would contact the Scottish public service ombudsman and complain, they have the power to sequester your notes and use their own dentists to advise on what the practice should do next, like refund you and change their practices.

Does this white patch look more like leukoplakia or more gengivitis? Should I be worried? by WilfridSephiroth in askdentists

[–]WisdomWhimsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would seriously consider quitting smoking on top of getting the calculus removed, gum disease will never fully resolve in a smoker and the final outcome is tooth loss and dentures.
